I was looking at the schedule and saw that Janko retired.

Woah, Tsonga is playing! I thought he was out for the rest of the year.

The British girl, Anne Keothavong has beaten Francesca Schiavone in 3. That's a fantastic result for her and for British tennis. She's the first woman to get to the 3rd round since 1991. I thought she had a chance, but i didn't actually think she WOULD do it.
As flakey is Dementieva is, i don't think she can beat her, but it'll be a good test for herself.

Jankovic is not looking good at all against Sophia Arvidsson right now. If she manages to win this match, she needs to pull herself together or Zheng will eat her alive.
ETA: Actually, I just noticed that Zheng hasn't won her match yet. I'm not sure why i thought that she had.

Jankovic looks slow and tired out there. And why does her dress has two hems that are both unfinished?
Tsonga won his match! Yes!

Dang. Stepanek just broke Starace to go up 6-5 in the first (although Potito is hanging in there, getting to a break point in Stepanek's next serve game). Dang pt. 2: Stepanek pulled out the first set.

Oh, I also saw this video of Rafa Nadal signing autographs! Out of the chaos there was this, "Can I have your shirt?" Rafa answered, "Sorry, I can't," and started laughing. "Could you just take it off, then, please?" Hee.

It was kind of weird to see Santoro so angry at the end of his match with Andy since he thought that Roddick aimed a serve at him. I will give Andy the benefit of the doubt in this case. But a shame to see Fabrice not even try on the last point and storm off the court after his last match at the USO.

I'm looking through today's results and something catches my eye. Cilic and Benneteau were in a 5th set, Cilic up 5-2. On the US Open site, it's listed as a completed match with that final set score. On yahoo, it's listed as Benneteau retired - which unless he went out on a stretcher would just be wrong.

There's a battle going on right now with Murray and Llodra. It's 2-1 for Murray, 4-4 in the 4th. But they've been trading breaks in this set, Murray is a wee bit tetchy and Llodra is playing well.

I just started trying to watch in off channelsurfing. I say "trying" because the video quality sucks hard.
ETA: Well Murray just won. Also Darcis retired in his match against Blake. Did anyone see what happened?

Lower back trouble apparently. Bummer.

Hey guys, Does anyone have experience going? I was there Tues. and yesterday with pre-ordered tickets, and I'd like to go tomorrow with a friend. However, we don't have tickets and they are sold out online. I know you can supposedly get them on-site, but is that actually feasible? And what time should we plan to get there to get them, if so?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

Momo was having some trouble against Kanepi in the first set, and now it looks like she's running away with the 3rd. The way things are going, she could beat Ivanovic in the next round. Assuming Ivanovic even makes it through her match today. I like Ana, but it would be good to see Momo get to the second week.
